I've seen some people talking about how Dick is portrayed to be in Gotham a lot despite also being Bludhaven's hero.
This is a valid perception. Dick has grown from being Batman's sidekick, and him having his own city is vital to his identity of being independent from Bruce (especially as the oldest). It's similar but not necessarily comparable to Jason claiming Crime Alley as his.
Dick should definitely have an independent life, responsibilities, and obligations due to his role as Bludhaven's protector. He doesn't have the time or capability to drop the hat for Gotham at every turn. Gotham has multiple protectors in comparison with Bludhaven.
However, Dick's frequency in Gotham depends on a few factors. I've seen estimates of Bludhaven being only a few miles or a 30-minute drive away. Others estimate it to be further. If Bludhaven really is only 30 minutes away, that's not too far for weekend visits. I used to drive that for work every day, and I drive that to see a family member once a week.
Others estimate it to be an hour or more away.
I guess my point is that if Bludhaven is under an hour's drive, it makes sense that Dick spends at least one day a week in Gotham to see his family. More than two nights is pushing it, but two or less is understandable. This is especially true if he's well established. Early on, he might need to spend less time in Gotham to get the lay of the land and assert himself, but he's probably fine by the time Steph shows up (unless he's spent considerable time away and needs to reestablish himself).
I need fics where Bruce/Dick explicitly tell people that they didn’t let Tim become Robin because he knew, or because of Bruce’s mental state, or even because of the fact that Tim kept coming back.
I need them to be like “Yeah we’re pretty sure he was gonna become a villain before this. We’re honestly pretty lucky that he looked up to us. I mean, he was blackmailing us at age 12, he trained with Lady Shiva, outsmarted Ra’s, fought an evil version of himself from the future where he was a joint dictator with his friends… But he’s a good guy, and we can only hope he stays that way :)”
FWIW, "mauve" was one of the coal-tar dyes developed in the mid-19th century that made eye-wateringly bright clothing fashionable for a few decades.
It was an eye-popping magenta purple
HOWEVER, like most aniline dyes, it faded badly, to a washed-out blue-grey ...
...which was the color ignorant youngsters in the 1920s associated with “mauve”.
(This dress is labeled "mauve" as it is the color the above becomes after fading).
They colored their vision of the past with washed-out pastels that were NOTHING like the eye-popping electric shades the mid-Victorians loved. This 1926 fashion history book by Paul di Giafferi paints a hugely distorted, I would say dishonest picture of the past.
Ever since then this faded bluish lavender and not the original electric eye-watering hot pink-purple is the color associated with the word “mauve”.
